A highly detailed architectural and figurative border surrounds the central title text. The border consists of multiple small rectangular vignettes depicting scenes of medical practice, botanical study, and scholarly teaching. At the bottom, a larger scene features several figures flanking a central heraldic device or emblem. The style is characteristic of late 16th-century Venetian book illustration.
